Like a ‘wet market’: Luxury hotels, condos being used as sex dens

Joel Tovera, chief of NBI’s Anti-Organized and Transnational Crime Division, disclosed this during Monday’s Senate hearing into the purported prostitution and illegal trafficking linked to Philippine offshore gaming operators .

Unfortunately, he said, operations of the syndicates “spearheading the prostitution business” have “evolved.” Asked whether he thought that hotels and condominiums were aware that their establishments were being used as prostitution dens, Sarmiento said he was not sure. “They are surprised whenever we conduct raids. They deny at first that there is an ongoing prostitution activities there. But the moment we open the door. because our asset is already there, to their surprise that uncooperative head of theirs becomes cooperative — to the point of opening all the doors,” he added.

For Go Hotels, area operations manager Cindy Castro said they had no idea that such activities were being done in their establishment, in particular, their branch in Parañaque.
